The week at Westminster: government decisions, legislation, votes and leadership — from the news, not the commentariat.
Most of this issue comes from the Conservative conference in Birmingham. Badenoch announced a £10bn missile defence plan, a 90% cut to the aid budget and a halving of employer national insurance for young workers, and ruled out a deal with Reform. The Greens' 'Zionism is racism' motion and a gov.uk bond announcement are the other items. The BBC's Britannia Shield piece is the most detailed read, with funding and cost questions.
The European Green Party said it 'unequivocally' distances itself from the Green Party of England and Wales motion declaring Zionism a form of racism, which passed 1,022 votes to 813 at conference. It will 'demand clarity' from the leadership. Leader Zack Polanski did not vote, having left early to campaign in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election.
The shadow chancellor vowed to cut at least one tax in every Tory budget. This came as shadow ministers unveiled a series of policies on day two of the conference in Birmingham.
Conservative chair Kevin Hollinrake said the party is 'not where we need to be right now' for an election and would prefer one 'some way down the track'. He said Badenoch is more trusted than the party. Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said he expects the election to be around three years away.
